Methods for setting breakpoints

You can set breakpoints in the Source, Breakpoints, Variables, or Watch view, before or after the application starts to run in debug mode.

Method #1: Setting a breakpoint in the Source view

Step 1: Select the script to display in the Source View.

Select a function or event in the Source Browser view to display its script in the Source View, or right click on the Source view and select Select Script from the popup menu to select the script to be displayed.

Step 2: Right click a line in the Source view and select Insert Breakpoints from the popup menu.

Once a breakpoint is set, a red circle displays at the beginning of the line.
